Day[9] Story Time #6 - Trying to be healthy

[@Anterbok]

I need a Day[9] radio station that I can just listen to all the fucking time.

[@Tory-JJ]

yes please.

[@farkinator7205]

Lol he's green screening his old apartment the feels :)

[@BuzzKirill3D]

This guy is the best at taking what could be said in 2-3 sentences and dragging it out into a 40 minute video

[@artturiantola7035]

+BuzzKill And making it So, OH SO, Entertaining!

[@BuzzKirill3D]

artturi Antola subjective

[@LPPineapples]

+BuzzKill like everything else that isnt the hard sciences

[@leonitvs]

+BuzzKill Username checks out.

[@Ringowasprettygood]

just wanna make sure you know that you basically said "Wow this guy told a story"

[@TheKornstalker]

This has to be the most engaging telling of a story that, in reality, should be boring as fuck, that I've ever heard

[@dancoburn1108]

" I'm not trying to have an agenda about it. Words are just falling out of my mouth." - applies to so many things people say!

[@mallenwho]

BIOLOGY LESSON TIME carbs are carbohydrates carbohydrates are one of four biomacromolecules (don't need to remember that) in other words, the 4 things which make up ALL OF YOU (ignoring chemical impurities) carbohydrates (Surgars and grains are in this category. All carbohydrates are broken down into the simplest form (glucose) during digestion. Glucose is the main energy source for all cells in the body) Lipids (fats). (there are two types. phospholipids (used as a rain coat to keep parts of cells separate from each other and make good membranes) and triglycerides (long term energy storage - fat)). Can be used as energy too but only once all readily available carbohydrates are gone. Proteins. Meat and milk and soy beans and stuff are broken down into amino acids (the building blocks which make proteins) to then be made into NEW proteins in the body. Everything that is done in a cell (and therefore the body) is the work of a protein. They take energy (in the form of an ATP (don't need to remember that) which is made from glucose) and DO SOMETHING. move a molecule into a cell, stretch or compact (muscles), hold an oxygen for a while (red blood cells). etc. Nucleic acids. They're specially used to make DNA and DNA variants. Bit of a unique topic. ignore them for the most part. When it comes to digestion, fats and carbohydrates are broken down into glucose which is immediate energy for most proteins. Some carbohydrates are SIMPLE, like sugars. Sucrose (standard white sugar) and Fructose (sugar in fruits) is very easy to get at and yields immediate large sources of energy. If it isn't used up immediately, there is too much in the body and so its stored away as long term fat deposits. COMPLEX carbohydrates such as starch (potatoes and bread and most grains) are much larger, and harder to get at the energy inside. It takes a lot of energy TO GET AT the energy inside, and it takes a long time, which means it sits there for a long time slowly releasing energy for a while. THAT IS WHY THEY'RE GOOD TO EAT. I could go into their chemical makeup and structure. but you can also get stupidly technical about a 6 gate. I just simplified it like you did a 6 pool. hoped it helped. =)

[@75353866]

The most basic of chemistry or at this level it is not even chemistry but biology, but I guess people forget things they learn in school

[@MrKillerpivot]

That must have taken a long time to copy/paste :P

[@mallenwho]

nope. Typed it out by hand. That's why its understandable rather than wikipediaish.

[@MrKillerpivot]

Jesse Mallen Fair enough

[@pyromaniac407]

Damn he is really good at storytelling

[@rangedfighter]

Sean Plott, you are a genius, your stories and inspirational speeches are unbeaten

[@wobblysauce]

Story's are why most people Sub.. then they watch the SC content waiting for another Story.

[@jamesfrazier4005]

Exactly.. I don't even like Starcraft, but I subscribe just to support him, and automatically go to the Day 9 story time playlist. (His story about his life and Starcraft is amazing though)

[@wobblysauce]

You could say that about Hearthstone now as well.

[@mcwhinns]

You are the most charismatic speaker I've ever seen. I subscribe just for these Story Time segments and think they're just brilliant.

[@xsariax]

I was listening to this whilst getting ready for work, and it was the most entertaining and truthful thing I could ever start my day with. You're great, man.

[@leon9021]

I so love your storytelling Shaun. Your so good at telling them because you exaggerate at parts to make it more interesting without ruining the entirety and your timing on the jokes are so perfect :)

[@lunisce]

Rank GM Storytelling

[@MrJ3]

You totally got me rofling at the "That photo is really funny! Like it! Oh my god, it was uploaded in 2009" LOL. I think we can all relate to that!

[@MagnusvonYoshi]

I'd actually like to see what a Wikipedia article's intro paragraph on a 4-Gate would look like... "A Four Gate is an opening for the . It consists of four with the from the , and typically involved saving the 's ability for Warp Gate , ideally accelerating the whole duration of the upgrade with four consecutive Chronoboosts." And every instance of < > indicates a link to another article.

[@Skizzaable]

4:10 so when felicity asks me why im liking her facebook stuff from 6 years ago i tell her "i have a bicycle" :D

[@only20frickinletters]

I took a mint!

[@jwychor]

21:32 - 22:48 Is the most skillfully done, free verse, monologue I have ever seen. Do stand up plz

[@will9001asd]

I've seen this twice I'm sure by now and I'm back going on a day9 story binge 🤣🤣 I have some personal experience to share. I'm turning 34 in Dec and I want to say that between 2022 and 2024 I had lost almost exactly 50lbs from 177 to now around 127. I'm 5'6 It sounds crazy but I really believe I did it in a healthy way 👀 Eat whatever(and I mean whatever) I wanted and as much as I wanted during waking hours not close to bedtime. Don't overeat for the last meal. Last meal must be 4-5 hours before bedtime. And have an active lifestyle. When I say active, I don't mean must do sports or go to the gym or even exercise. I stand at my desk for no longer than 30 mins and sit for at least 30 minutes and repeat when possible, usually getting in 4-5 hours of standing per day. Go on walks, etc. Stretch before bed. Basically don't be lethargic. Every waking moment is an opportunity to be active. I don't think I could have done this if I wasn't indulging in food that makes me happy "DAILY" Good luck everyone trying to be more fit and healthy!

[@monital77]

I lost it on the bit about powdering the "stretch trench"!

[@supermario2100]

I really hope Sean does stand-up sometime. His StarCraft stuff is great, but this is super funny and would probably go over very well as stand-up.

[@asdfffs]

That story just kept getting better and better omfg

[@Allpopnotart9]

22 Years old and I thank you for the advice, and some laughs. Was just about to go healthy to live a better life.

[@Marre2795]

I laughed so hard. And to top it all off. A fitness commercial at the end :D lol. Thank you Day9

[@quoabell]

man, sean's on fire. very well done sir, i enjoyed every minute.

[@MrTeddybearGame]

Please do more of these. They are perfect.

[@KantiDono]

This might be the best video yet on this channel.

[@MiffoKarin]

This was wonderful, I haven't laughed this much since you played Machinarium and the chat was tearing their hair out. Thank you for brightening up my day.

[@Jack7967]

You tell a hell of a story Sean.

[@FalkonX3000]

Day9 should become an actor

[@briankasner7170]

Naa, this is his perfect job

There's a video where he does stand up.

[@Pinback101]

I tried to be healthy today. I ate well, worked out... and here I am staying up all night watching the lunar eclipse and Day9 tell stories. Well, at least I tried.

[@Citharn]

BadLemur A little bit less sleep won't kill you, the rest that you did that day is what matters.

[@madjackgamingandfitness498]

I feel you on this Day9. I knew almost nothing about health through out my youth. And didn't even catch on till about 20-21. Even now I am still trying new things because of the different health plans out there. I think I am on the right one with what I do with my work outs. I think even now though with what I am doing which is healthy and keeps me full, and helps me build my body, that if someone or school would've told me about these things 10 years ago. It would've save me so much more time. The difference between good carbs and bad carbs, when to eat when not to eat. I hope youth can catch onto this more quickly in the future so they don't have to face problems we had to face.

[@OMIMreacts]

PLOT!! Your stories are definitely the best stories in the whole known world!

[@b1ackic3]

Gods, I was strong then!

[@lurkern]

Thank you for doing this sean, you make me laugh to tears! please stay as awesome as ever and keep making my days worthwhile

[@MrStanfish96]

Serious respect for sharing that. Best of luck on your weight loss.

[@Forkez]

This reminds me of all the atheltics competitions I did 10 years ago, and the regret I feel when I realise I can no longer run 200m (1/8 of a mile) without burning out my lungs.

[@Awright42484]

I 100% agree with tips 1-3. I also think that a big part of staying fit is maintaining the idea that it's all about/for the sake of freedom. I stay in shape so that i have the freedom to go on a hike up a mountain if i want. Or go swimming with friends, biking in a park, or even learn a new sport. To always be ready and able, whenever opportunity presents itself, to participate in something fun and social. But i also do it for the sake of maybe needing it for self defense or preservation. And it's for that reason that i've also studied combat sports and self defense.

[@Awright42484]

But hey, maybe that's just me.

[@Driftingsiax]

Everything about this video is not only true, but beautiful

[@kurtiswithak]

Dude I couldn't agree more with everything you've said in this video! I'm 28 and I relate 100%.

[@yoda0017]

"His balls were a milk sack" caught me completely off guard lmao

[@warlordgorgutzz]

Ironically, I also ran 5k races around a lake at 8:00 AM (I live in Las Vegas so we went to Boulder City at Vet.'s Memorial Park for the race; was an invitational we went to 2-3 times each season, my favorite course too.). _____________________________________________________________________ I joined Cross-Country not knowing a single thing on what it was about or how to play or anything other than it was a sport in high school. Well turned out it was running, running, & then some more running, plus a little running on the side. I ended up loving Cross-Country. Most people never will. I never ate/eat what a runner is suppose to eat, never have, never will, yet I still did/do well. That "Runner's Diet" is something both my coaches always tried to instill in me, but I never followed it. I never used, still never do, & probably never will use that diet. I did, do, & probably will do fine while running without using it. _____________________________________________________________________ I love running. I run for fun. I run for no reason. I run cuz I'm bored. I'm probably a true runner. If you hate walking/jogging/running anywhere that's quite a distance away, you are most likely not a true runner. If you'd never run unless you absolutely have to, you are most likely not a true runner. If running for no reason just baffles you, you are most likely not a true runner. If you hate running, PERIOD, you are most likely not a true runner. ************************************************************************************************* km = Kilometer(s) m = Meter(s) mi. = Mile(s) yd = Yard(s) ft = Foot/Feet _____________________________________________________________________ 1 mi. = 1,760 yd = 5,281 ft 1 km = 1,000 m _____________________________________________________________________ 1 mi. = 1.609 km = 1,609 m 1 km = 3,281 ft = 0.621 mi. 1 m = 3.28 ft = 1.1 yd _____________________________________________________________________ A 5K race = 5 km = 5000 m = 3.1 mi.

[@JerradZonna]

I may just watch this often Day9 to keep myself on track. I am to constantly trying to get healthy and more fit. I love rock climbing but I got to a point my weight was dragging me down. So now I plan to eat right and work out till my fat falls off. I made great progress a while ago back in 2011 after getting a job from college. I wen't from 270lbs to 230lbs roughly. Now I'm up around 250lbs after doing a lot of rock climbing gaining muscle but not trimming down. My goal is 190, fairly low but over 200 seems too much for my 5' 6" height. Thank you for your inspiration and ability to motivate. See you on the other side of having a gut that can save a family of 4.

[@ahpadt]

lmao carbohydrate rant The top 3 tips at the end are spot on

[@joshuacook2]

Wow, 22. Spot on. I am about to turn 23 and I have started to notice some of the negative effects. Though I can still do 30 full shoulder width, nose to the ground push ups in a row (this video made me confirm that just now), I have about a fist of belly fat and a little on the side. I might just start exercising when I graduate... or not.

[@MichaelRiston]

Such a great video. I was worried I was going to wake my baby up from laughing so much near the end haha!

[@leannyly]

The impressions are just the best 😂

[@NathanJ666]

Day9 is 27. A friend of mine is 27. Therefore, I am friends with Day9.

[@teeds88]

and 27 divided by 9 is 3, therefore ... half-life 3 confirmed?

[@SkullBoySKB]

***** woah

[@SexualKamikaze]

he looks like he's in his 40s

[@SkullBoySKB]

SexualKamikaze Not with that attitude he doesn't.

[@derpherpize]

You understand me so much, Sean.

[@Njubish]

I love story time with day9!

[@trazz407]

Congrats on daily #700 Day9! :D

[@crotiag]

Brightened my morning. Hilarious!. Thanks.

I know this is like two years late, but if that is a Bob Ross reference then you are awesome :P

[@calebmccleary1130]

29:55 - I have to use this in regular conversation.. best analogy ever!

[@DLXSteve]

Amazing video followed by an ad for Flex Belt, lol. So good.

[@Sanne78]

Surprisingly fascinating story time!

[@StevenKW]

I'm watching this after a cookie binge!

[@veteran501]

THIS is the best Day[9] series :D i really like these stories

[@TheGreggregington]

2 handfuls of tummy + 1 half life shirt = 3 Half Life 3 confirmed

[@nexes1337]

im 21 im scared now what is going to happen

[@fpsoftdev]

Im 23 and I can say it's pretty accurate. Prepare to enter the world of pseudo-health Nazis.

[@dasuberpanda]

ethanownz im almost 23 and i don't see it yet, i personally just work out a lot.. and am too poor to eat a lot. that seems to work okay for me

[@AlexCesare]

dasuberpanda 22, I've done nothing but work and school since graduating high school. 30 hours of studies and 30 hours of work really takes its toll. Not even Goju-Ryu practice and sparring three times a week could keep my high school figure :/

[@Zeeaall]

You can always do what I do. Surround yourself with computer nerds - problem solved.

[@dasuberpanda]

i think a lot of it has to do with genetics, look at Louis C.K., dude runs like 2 miles every day and still has a big gut. granted he is like 40..

[@DeathMetalGhost]

Yet another epic Day9 story.

[@DrCornelius]

I love story time, always end up crying of laughter :'D

[@Sushbag]

"Close it down, clean up the win," *SNAP* "The comeback is real."

[@danield2667]

"Some guy, in a shirt...that looked tight on him. Cause he had muscles and he ran. mmmmmmmmmmm..." New favorite Day9 moment.

[@lockjaw467]

I sense a Day[9] Digest series in the making!

[@Mrius86]

Running a six minute mile is pretty fucking impressive to me.

[@teeds88]

22 really seems like the prime of one's life. i too was at my physical peak around that age (little earlier). only got worse after that ... the worst thing is losing the will to be healthy. being unhealthy is so convenient and will generally not cause you much trouble for a long time. and then it's too late to turn it around easily.

[@Polydueces]

The physical prime for guys is apparently 30-45. I'm 25, so I've yet to find out if that's true though hehe. People just tend to become more thoughtful about every little action as they get older, and then procrastination overwhelms everyone's life.

[@sheds]

This was a great watch. I was a fat kid drinking about 3-4 sodas a day and eating tons of fast food. Then about midway through being 27, decided to start lifting weights and stop eating trash. I lost 50 pounds in 3 months and stayed healthy during that time. I lost 10 pounds the first week after I quit drinking all soda and eating fast food. Ate nothing but salad and chicken and broccoli for 2 months and added carbs back in at 8 weeks to deal with issues of being too tired to get out of bed and too sore to lift. Eating was the biggest difference. Basically stop eating fast food and you'll lose weight regardless of what you eat.

[@garrettwgg]

The sad part is that it all makes sense but so few understand and teach it.

[@sethhh7]

Love the story time.

[@jakesmith5405]

"like my fucking thighs would turn to gold and I'd run up a rainbow" lmao

[@UnknownXV]

I'm 23, almost 24.. I still feel quite healthy! Just takes more will power to get up and exercise, but when I'm doing it it's natural enough. Also, I'm one of those freaks of nature who still can eat anything and everything and not gain a pound. Fear not though, the universe has balanced this out by making me bald at 18. Still, it's a fair trade. ;)

[@hotandcold88]

Yeah i could eat everything i wanted to at that age, then i get a deskjob, with horrible late overwork hours, order fast food. stopped doing sports, and poof there i went, working on getting the way i was but trust me it takes more time to get back in shape then loose it, so be carefull, always excercise

[@tinss619]

just like one punch man

[@TurboKingCandy]

It was uploaded in 2009 just gets better with every passing year, lol

[@SalmonMage]

I love your story times. They're awesome to listen to. I agree about health awareness in young adults. At least in my experience most of the people around me are indifferent or apathetic and eat whatever they please and it shows. I realized my own health in decline when I was only 18 and from then on I lived pretty cleanly not eating any fast food, drinking gallons of water, fruits and veggies and lots of exercise. I think after a long time of sticking to a certain lifestyle or food choice, cravings like burgers and fries don't have much of an impact as they did if you had only just stopped eating them. Ultimately, the results of my unhealthy lifestyle reflecting at me in the mirror kept me in check. Shallow, but in the end I felt good inside and that was something I didn't expect!

[@jemag]

really great story! Losing weight shouldn't feel complicated though. You basically just have to slowly lower your calories until start losing 1-2 pounds per week (either by your nutrition and/or exercice). So it's simply calories in vs calories out...

[@faureamour]

Just wonderful and hilarious and accurate.

[@smarte1111]

Story time, is best time.

[@travellingspud7972]

Everything about Story Time sets off my non-sequitor alarm bells. Just waiting for the logic to fall apart :D

[@JonoTheAwesome]

Immediately need to go watch daily 100. One of my favorites! :P

[@DDarkwoker]

I think the last thing he's mentioned is the crucial part, 'cuz a big part of everything is whats in your head. I've stoped thinking about how food affects me, drink a lot of green tea and water, and with little to no workout my body weight is stable, but I'm losing fat and gaining muscle.

[@lockjaw467]

33:31 I'd be so thrilled if someone made an animated gif of this

[@nathanksimpson]

I love the Pocari Sweat can! One of my favourite drinks.

[@TAAG556]

That feel when you get winded just listening to this....

[@nippystar]

brilliant, just brilliant

[@Spicynoodlebucket]

Thank you sean. Today you made me a better person. I will now try not to annoy people anymore with storys of once upon a time when I was fit and went to the gym almost every day. I will try to attend my workout and stop my sarlacc pit from growing while still enjoying my food. P.s. I also think you should be the president of the united states^^

[@DarthDionius]

"At age 22, everybody goes fucking..." Yep, that sounds about right.

[@twiiistCH]

This was so funny, just find something you love and focus on the greatness of that sport

[@Zeldarulah]

I completely agree with the ending thesis of this. All you have to do is work out at all, and not eat an excessive amount. That's it.

[@AvatarOfGames]

THE COMEBACK IS REAL!!!

[@Tenocticatl]

The way I explain it to little kids (of all ages) is this: carbs are sugar, which you use as fuel. Proteins are building blocks for your body. You need some fat as well, to help with the building, but not a lot. If you eat too much sugar, your body stores it as fat. If you eat too much protein, you can't poop. If you want to eat healthy, stick to 3 meals a day. No snacking (except for apples), no soda, no alcohol. If you do snack, enjoy it.

[@Ifailatlife1991]

Haha this is interesting to hear about the bike, growing up as a dane we get at our first bike, or many of us do at age 4-5. Interesting stuff.

[@nhandoan4042]

Lesson learned. I won’t watch these videos while weight lifting due to hysterical laughter.

[@eppinizer]

Great stories Sean. I guess some people are just very different than others when it comes to health. I too noticed the lack of health talk once I was in college. However, I suffered from severe anxiety which I didn't want to take drugs to cure. I quickly found that an hour of exercise a day would do the trick. I'd say buy a new bike and save some gas, lose some ass. Also p90x is pretty fun once you get past the first month. Good luck!

[@Zalivan564]

That was the most accurate representation of what peeing sounds like

[@MrLhines16]

Holy shit, the promised time has come! Day9 Story time has returned!

[@genenerd1984-alt]

Loved his carb rant, but felt like such a nerd. *Totally understood the wiki article* aw how biochemistry pays off

[@TheNoirKamui]

22:53 - im stoping to say - hey! That was George Carlin style right there! :D

[@kevinb.3656]

I'm literally getting ready for bed and I see this get uploaded, and it's like, Day 9 is going to read me a bed time story. Gay. Can't wait.

[@rfagaraz]

I left the notebook with his page open, woke up at the start of the show and slept again in the same fashion xD. Just woke up to watch again

[@WhatAmThatDude]

i think i've commented on this before, but i dont see it anymore so i'll say it again. my source is that i am a chemist. carbohydrates (in terms of foods) are simple sugars. and the process for naming them is incredibly simplistic according to the rules of the iupac. if you want the broader ranger of carbohydrates, then it gets much more complex, but still simple in that they follow a common naming structure.

[@WhatAmThatDude]

it's simple shit sean. you have a valid point, but it's couched in such nonsensical hyperbole that i think it detracts from the narrative you're trying to convey
